How it works
The 16 plans are shuffled into random pairs. The 8 you pick in the round of sixteen move on to the quarterfinals, then come the semifinals and the final, so you make 15 picks in total. The Back button undoes one pick at a time, and the bracket is reshuffled every time you start. The plan that narrowly lost the final is shown as the runner-up.

Tips for picking your post-exam plan
- Picture the very night the exam ends. Be honest about whether you want to rest or go out and have fun.
- When something you would do alone meets something you would do with friends, the tough call shows what you have missed most.
- If something like a driver’s license or a part-time job wins, check the official requirements and how to sign up before you start.
- Turn your winner and the runner-up into a plan for your first free week. Compare results with friends to find something to do together.
